“I was doing puja. Suddenly something happened, and there was a sound. My window glass broke, and it spread all around the room. It was like a shock for me. I usually sit in that room (where the branch fell). Our window grill is also damaged. The contractor assured us that he would repair it,” said Nila Parekh, a resident of S L Building in Mahim.
G North Ward Assistant Commissioner Ajitkumar Ambi said, “Our team is already on the spot. We have asked the road department to issue a show cause notice to the contractor.” Ambi said he also suggested to the contractors that further uprooting of trees for repair work should be conducted manually.
